50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sunnyvale

“I've eaten here many times, both onsite and takeout. For this recent visit, we got takeout. I had Linguine Leonardo, one of my favorites. My husband had Chicken Marsala and my dad had Linguine Portofino. The Leonardo has chicken, spinach, and sundried tomatoes sautéed in olive oil and garlic. It's a nice variety of flavors and the tomatoes are a great burst of flavor. The pasta is homemade and delicious. My husband enjoyed his Marsala. It had a lot of sauce, with mushrooms and onions. The chicken was pounded thin. My dad enjoyed the Portofino and ate every bite. All of our dishes came with a side salad, breadsticks, and their delicious cheese spread.“

“Just had an incredible lunch at Gumba’s Italian Cuisine! 🍝🍕 From the comforting bowl of soup to the crispy, cheesy pizza and creamy pasta, everything was absolutely delicious. The vibe is so inviting and authentic—definitely a hidden gem for all Italian food lovers! If you’re craving great pizza, pasta, and good vibes, this place is a must-visit. BService was amazing. Waiter ensured that we were well taken care of. Can’t wait to go back! 🇮🇹✨ #ItalianFood #FoodieFinds #GumbasItalianCuisine“

“This is my first time trying this kind of pizza and it did not disappoint. The chicken and sauce went together so well. The crust was also very crispy. The staff was very nice and I’m grateful for his happiness. I would recommend this place“

“(Jan 12, 2026)
I went out by myself to this Indian pizza place.
I bought the small (10 inches!) shahi paneer pizza for a brunch.
The aroma and the first two bites were so delicious, and it soon became somewhat monotonous and I started feeling full.
The small pizza surely can feed more than one person.

The place was not busy, and then came a care-giving group (Aim Higher, an adult disability services) who bought pizzas for some troubled middle-aged people. I had some extra slices, and I enquired if I am allowed to give my untouched pizza slices to them. They were happy to take them.“

“Indian flavor pizza. I think the menu has other things but their Indian flavored pizza is the serious yum!“

“BEsteak.A is an exceptional steakhouse that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From the moment we stepped in, the service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable staff who made us feel welcomed throughout. The ambiance was enhanced by the soothing music playing in the background, setting a relaxed tone for the evening. I opted for the bone-in New York steak, and I must say, it was a masterpiece. The presentation was unlike any other steakhouse I've been to—the steak arrived perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. What surprised me pleasantly was their unique twist on the starter; instead of the usual bread, we were served a delightful plate of fresh vegetables with a decadent cheese dipping sauce—a refreshing change that set the tone for the meal ahead. The open kitchen concept added to the experience, allowing us to see the skill and dedication of the chefs firsthand. Overall, BEsteak.A not only delivered on taste but also on ambiance, service, and creativity. It's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend as the best Italian Restuarant in the Bay Area“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“I will be back! Staff service and food are exceptional!“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Great place for corporate events! Our team attended IBASV's bocce ball tournament last week and the food/atmosphere were great!“

“They have to best ravioli. My family has been getting them for over 60 years. I live in texas now, I haven't been there in years, I miss them so much! Most of my family is in Sacramento now and will go to La Villa just to get the ravioli!“

“Fantastic service and Delicious food. Our server ( didn’t catch her name ) was awesome. I do remember she had a beautiful accent. I believe when asked she said she was originally from Kenya! Kudos to her for taking such good care of us! We live in San Joaquin Valley but we will definitely make the trip back for dinner!“

“We went tonight and had an amazing, affordable meal. I can’t say enough about the service! The staff is friendly, comes across like they genuinely want you there. The food was delicious. I will be back soon!“

“Celebrating my husband's 65th Birthday. Took a excursion today to cool off out of the valley heat and searched out an authentic Italian meal. I ordered the Linguini and fresh Clams with roasted peppers and light cream sauce. The results were delicious with excellent flavor and presentation. Hubby needed his Cavatelli with red gravy as a side dish since he hasn't found anything like this in our area. He also ordered Lasagna as the main course and we were surprised to see a very large portion! The bread, and I am not a bread eater, was heavenly. Hubby claims good Italian bread is like eating cake and I couldn't agree more with him more. I am now a convert! The pasta is homemade, the red gravy is delicious. We will be returning. Thank you for being here for all of us Italian food lovers ❤️“

“I love this place I have been going here for years“

“Loved everything about this place. The food was seriously good—zucchini fries, salad, pasta, and pizza all hit the mark. But the service really made it next level. Staff were on top of everything, from drinks to food delivery, and even helped pack up our leftovers for us. Dessert came out perfectly too. It’s one of those spots where everything just feels easy, well-run, and enjoyable from beginning to end.“

“100% recommend, comfort food and great service. Best cannolo I’ve had in San Jose ! The garlic knots are okay, their dough is really nice though. But the chicken with penne was delicious! My fiancé had the veal and he really liked it!“

“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again“

“We love Vaso Azurro and their friendly, family atmosphere and delicious food. We also love when the staff sings. However, last night, we found the noise level too high for conversation. We did not ask for the music volume to be turned down, so I'm not sure how that would have worked. The prices have zoomed in the last six months, but they have everywhere. The noise won't keep us from going back.“

“Most delicious desert ever!“

“What a pleasant dining experience. Was greeted at the door by the owner, staff were very attentive and the foods amazing!“

“Very good Italian restaurant“

“The best Italian food in San Jose! Service is always very personable, food comes out quickly, and bread, pizza, and pasta are to die for. I don’t know anyone who didn’t think it was one of the best places they’ve tried, and it’s near the movies. I had both of my daughters' birthday parties there.“

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.“

“..finally had a chance to try the new restaurant, wonderful!!“

“Always a pleasure! Food never disappoints.“

“Nice italian restaurant serving pizza and pasta. The garlic fries were amazing. The veggie pizza was ok, the flavors were good but didnt have enough salt and the bottom was bit soggy. The service was the highlight - very friendly, helpful and was visibly happy to help. I didnt get his name - but thank you.“

“Mio Vicino is a Santa Clara institution. Consistently great food. Friendly atmosphere. It’s a Perry family go to place for sure! 😎👍🏼“

“Love the food and the atmosphere!“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Bistro Elan. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, making the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. A great place for a casual dinner or a special occasion. Looking forward to visiting again.“

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

“Amazing Sicilian food, cozy patio and dining experience. Wait staff are welcoming❤️“

“Stumbled in on a whim and now I'm hooked. The Ischia Salad with mango and burrata was so fresh and bright, and the Ravioli di Aragosta?? Actual generous lobster and a pink sauce I could've sipped lol. Warm service, cute lemony Amalfi vibe, plus tons of gluten-free options. If you're in San Jose, just go.“

“Ordered the seafood pasta - normally it comes with wine sauce but I ordered it with the red sauce. Usually they say dont order off the menu but sometimes life is about taking risks. Hey Michael Jackson’s Thriller wasn’t supposed to be released. One bite and I’d say the best seafood pasta I’ve bad in the South Bay Area, in fact miles better than @SamsChowderHouse in Half Moon Bay.“

“Pinsa (Flatbread) and the Mushroom Ravioli were exceptional dishes. Our favorite plates out of the 3 we ordered. We also had the carbonara but there was an after taste that did not sit well. Most likely from the cheese? Service was slightly slow however only the bartender was on shift.“

“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.“

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We ordered food to go. I love the food here. It is always a treat. The pizza crust is exceptional. I also recommend the Pesto Gnocchi. Best pesto around! When we dine in, it is very cool to sit at the bar. The bar service is as good as sitting at a table.
See ya soon.“

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.“

“Love this place! Gets better every time! Excellent service. Excellent food! Authentic Italian. 🇮🇹🍕☕️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience! From the moment we walked in tonight, everything about this Italian restaurant was pure magic. The ambience was a great family friendly made even more special by the wonderful gentleman playing the accordion — such an authentic touch that transported us straight to Italy. The service was impeccable - attentive without being intrusive — and every detail was handled with care. And the food… perfection! The Sole was simply divine — light, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Each bite was a reminder of why true Italian cuisine is all about quality and passion. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food, beautiful atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. I can’t wait to return! 🇮🇹🍷✨ Dreamgate Events Birmingham Alabama“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“Teleports you back to Italy with the high quality food and drinks. The owner makes the experience unforgettable and his hospitality is unmatched. The food is straight farm to table and the focaccia is unbelievable. We took some home in our purse for later. Definitely a necessary stop in LG.“

“Stanford Childrens' and a broken leg, CAN ONLY be better by a visit to Tootsies Barn on Welch Road, what a treat! Everything there is perfection, from the foamy strong creamy coffee, to the quality and fresh food, to the happiness of a child in pain, enjoying a sugar coated, soft fresh Bomboloni after a medical appointment at LPCH - Please, stop by and enjoy the happiness on your child's face! WORTH IT, Thanks Tootsies Barn, you are an amazing delicious treat!“

“I discovered the place by accident. I was next door inside Michaels having some art pieces custom framed when I decided to look for a place to stop by to eat. I was starving. I was craving for pasta. And thats how I got to discover this place. I ordered the chicken fettucine alfredo. Love the dish with its chunky chicken pieces and al dente pasta. The complimentary cheese sticks with that cheese pimiento cheese spread was a delightful surprise. Next time Ill check their lasagna and clam chowder. I heard their clam chowder is as good as Boulins in San Francisco. I dont have to make a drive to the city to enjoy a good bowl of chowder. The lasagna looks so rich as well as their chopino. Im definitely comjng back.“
